EE 475 Design of Computer Subsystems(5) An introductory
course in the specification, design, development, and test of digital computer subsystems
and systems, using SSI, MSI, and LSI digital components. Topics include a review of
combinational and sequential logic followed by a study of more advanced material in these
areas. Additional topics will include the ALU and control-unit designs, memory hardware
design, I/O hardware and interface designs, system design steps, high-speed digital
circuit design, noise reduction techniques, and hardware description languages

Contemporary design tools and instruments will be introduced through
a series of laboratory projects then applied in a comprehensive final project brings
together all of the concepts taught in the course. Offered: Fall, Winter, Sp.

Course Goals....

The main objective of this capstone design course is to provide
students with theoretical background and practical experience in advanced digital system
design techniques as well as digital circuit construction, testing and debugging. The
course provides a comprehensive in-depth coverage of advanced digital design principles
and practice, introduces system design process and steps while emphasizing strong written
and oral communications skills
